Ben Watkins, from Juno Reactor, in a candid interview with The Sleep Lab Kid about the story behind the beat and what makes his music tick. Featuring South Africa's Amampondo and Mabi Gabriel Thobejane, this interview spans different albums, and the mind-set that created the music.

Submissions closed September for Earthcore 2008 but remain open for Asia 2009 and other events.

- Dj sets and live act demos

Earthcore's policy for the last 15 years is to feature new music from all genres. Be from ambient to minimal to experimental and beyond we have 45 % placement policy for new upcoming artists and djs or those who haven't performed at a Earthcore before.

Submissions for this year's Earthcore close mid September but you can still send through your demo after the cut off date and we'll consider it for when Earthcore hits Japan and China in 2009 !!

Demo's can be sent from anywhere in the world so even if you live in Iceland we will consider you to perform.

Please note we only accept cd's/dvd's. Downloads will not be listened to.

Earthcore is counting down to it's last event which is set to be the production of productions!

Are you still counting your pennies in a money box trying to put aside your mammoth party budget??

Not so easy when there's distractions like Tsuyoshi Suzuki banging launch party and Club Hades & Earthcore presenting a mile high event at the Rialto Observation deck diverting your savings to not to be missed lead up events to the outback mayhem…

We don't feel bad for giving you an outlet to let down your hair but we are guilty of hosting events that divert your minds focus down our party path leaving you picking up memories and pieces of your piggy bank the next morning.
